In Part 1 of this study, the mathematical relations between micro and macro measures of effect were derived. The formulas thus obtained can be used for cross level comparisons of findings concerning the effect of some specific risk factor on, eg, mortality. The approach is illustrated by means of an empirical example relating to the association between unemployment and suicide. This relationship is estimated on micro data as well as on aggregate time series data. The findings from the two levels are fairly consistent.
在本研究的第一部分，推导了效应微观与宏观测量之间的数学关系。由此获得的公式可用于对某些特定风险因素对死亡率等影响的研究结果进行跨层次比较。通过一个关于失业与自杀之间关联的实证例子来说明该方法。这种关系在微观数据以及总体时间序列数据上进行了估计。两个层面的研究结果相当一致。
